Hello Hello introduces young children to the telephone.
Hello Hello by Fumiko Takeshita (Kane/Miller Book Publishers, ISBN 1-933605-11-1) serves as an introduction to using the telephone. As a picture book for young children (ages 3-5), it shows the many ways we use telephones: emergency calls, social calls, and pizza delivery calls.
What was life like before the telephone was invented? Hello Hello encourages children to ask themselves how they would talk to far-away friends and family if telephones were not yet invented. Would they have to travel great distances to talk to someone? Would they write a letter?
What about the future? What will telephones be like in the distant future? Will the people of the future place phone calls to Earth from outer space? From another planet?
Hello Hello gets children interested in exploring communication by raising interesting ideas about the telephone. This book also provides the perfect introduction for teaching children how to properly use the telephone.
Originally published in Japan, Hello Hello’s eye-catching illustrations capture the imagination of children. We see animals using the telephone to say thank-you for a gift, to call 911, and to simply chat with a friend.
Hello Hello is a fun and educational experience. A great asset to both parents and pre-school teachers!
